+ 27 Blood Pressure Help

ad

Every once in a while We see a blood pressure question and the truth is, its probably the biggest health hazard when it comes to doing what we do. Most of the young guys running gear, I was one once upon a time, just look at roid rage as kinda cool often and dont really realize it is likely the result of high blood pressure. High blood pressure could be responsible for a large percentage of all disease related to cardiovascular or organ issues. We should talk about it more and in my opinion there should be no single person running gear without a BP monitor. I figured it out many years after running my first gear, I thought rage just meant I was a badass! Lol. So anyway my answer is cardio early and often, eat as clean as possible and take my omega3 fish oil along with a few other heart supps....hopefully everyone can drop in their control methods and thoughts. I happen to believe even blood pressure medication is a good thing if you need it when compared to just letting it get out of hand. It is depreciating you which is the opposite of what we are all trying to do to begin with. A motor that runs nice and smooth that granny drives will last longer than one in Goths ride given he just boils the tires at every intersection and thinks he's so fuckin cool with his dollar store jewelry and his felt hat and gold tip cane! TELL US WHATS WORKING FOR YOU....

B vitamins and iron help produce the red blood cells while Vitamin E, and D help prolong their life. Oh and folic acid too. I started supplementing these a few months back and its also very neccesary when your running an epo cycle or just doing any type of endurance sport. Baby aspirin 2x day. Anytime your crit gets too high your suppost to donate blood to lower BP and thin it out. High BP, and thick blood are both common sides of epo as well. Thought Id throw that out since were talking hemotology. My BP has always been on the high side no matter what I do. Its hereditary for me. I have to watch my sodium no more than 3500 a day and that can get tricky sometimes. Someone was telling me beet root juice helped and it did seem to lower my bp the few wks I was drinking it.

Red yeast rice makes wonders dealing with high cholesterol, but is known for raising liver enzimes, so better not taking along with 17aa orals.

Just call Huggy Bear.
My Bp is up, and started cardio last week.
Keeping a cool head is vital. This is good info, and I'm taking notes. But just like the recent blood test blog here, it seems most of these guys are deaf and blind to anything but shortcuts.
